Tide Guide met the University of Texas, San Antonio at the usaul rendezvous, friday morning. Weather will hold, something I can tell from all these years guiding down here. Six students and my friend and UTSA assistant outdoor director Eliot Howard are all set to paddle down to Shell Bar. And we are paddling even myself this time (see: "Mr. Minor Recieves a Citation"). I have'nt paddled down there and back in ten years. I've forgiven the Game Wardens by now even.
East wind so we glide down all the way to Shell Bar. Saturday we circumnavigated Steam Boat Island during the afternoon. Eliot had been talking about Eskimo Rolling this 17' Tide Guide kayak, and while flowing with an flooding tide, thru Steamboat Pass he executed a complete role, "well done".
Wind shifted, Sunday morning and is aft of starboard beam for an easy paddle back to the marina.
